The el train makes the Loop,
the wind blows in from the lake;
it’s springtime in Chicago,
people on the move.
The wind blows in from the lake,
runners thrill to the chill;
people on the move
pull jackets and sweaters tighter.
Runners thrill to the chill,
early morning, Oak Street Beach;
pull jackets and sweaters tighter
if you’re just taking a stroll.
Early morning, Oak Street Beach,
chilly breeze but sun:
If you’re just taking a stroll,
today’s the day to do it.
Chilly breeze but sun,
right for a walk and coffee.
Today’s the day to do it,
quick breakfast, shopping, change the world.
Right for a walk and coffee,
right for a fresh start.
Quick breakfast, shopping, change the world,
or just take the train past work.
